2、nd competition.Rapa is a very remote place, like another planet. When settlers arrived there, there was an immediate impact on the environment. With the population expanding, you can see the same thing on a larger scale today. It leads to social fighting.The first people to live on Rapa arrived by b
3、oat in AD 1200. They at first set up camp in rock shelters along the coast and probably got along well with each other. The peace wouldnt last. Rapa became fortified (设防的) about 300 years later. The island is 530 kilometers from its closest neighbor; those fortifications werent for outside invaders.
4、 The competition for resources led the people of Rapa to split into warring parts.When the Polynesians arrived in Rapa, there was great erosion (削弱), clearing of the land and so on. They also brought things with them, like different crops and rats, as well as their main food of taro.The date the set
5、tlers arrived is actually much later than what was considered before, meaning that their ancestors had hung up their longdistance boat paddles for about 1,500 years after settling westerly islands like Fiji and Tonga.The same thing happened on those islands, but to a lesser degree. There were enough
6、 small places in the immediate area that people could move on rather than fight for resources only when other islands were exhausted (匮乏). They finally traveled to Rapa. About 2,000 people at the time were all forced to stay_put. There was just nowhere else to go this was the end of the line.1The te

However, not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable ma
11、n, except perhaps that he was born in the market town of StratforduponAvon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We do not know, for example, how long it lasted, but we presumed that he attended the local grammar school, where the principal subject tau
12、ght was Latin.Nothing certain is known of what he did between the time he left school and his departure for London. According to a local legend, he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from the estate of a neighboring landowner, Sir Thomas Lucy. It is said that because of
13、this he was forced to run away from his native place. A different legend says that he was apprenticed to a Stratford butcher, but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth, the world can be grateful that he did so. What is
14、 certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London. It is said that at first he had no money or friends there, but that he earned a little by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre.

17、ntence “In time, as he became a familiar figure .” (Para.3) “in time” means _.Aon timeBsometimesCsome time later Dsome time解析:选C词义猜测题。由“人们熟悉了他”,可知是一段时间之后。8The best title is _.AThe Early Life of ShakespeareBShakespeares Life in LondonCShakespeares Role in PerformanceDShakespeares Later Life解析:选A标题归纳题
18、。由全文讲的是Shakespeare的早年生活可知为A。CThere were once two men, both seriously ill, in the same room of a hospital. It has one window looking out on the world. One of the men, as part of his treatment, was allowed to sit in bed for an hour in the afternoon. His bed was next to the window. But the other man ha
19、d to spend all his time flat on his back.Every afternoon when the man next to the window was propped up for his hour, he would spend the time describing what he could see outside. It seemed that the window overlooked a park where there was a lake. There were ducks and swans in the lake, and children
20、 came to throw them bread and sail model boats. Young lovers walked hand in hand, and there were flowers and trees. And behind the trees was a fine view of the skyline.The man on his back would listen to him describe all of this, enjoying every minute. He heard how a child fell into the lake, and ho
21、w beautiful the girls were in their dresses. In the end his friends descriptions made him feel he could almost see what was happening outside.Then one fine afternoon, the thought struck him: Why should the man next to the window have all the pleasure of seeing what is going on? Why shouldnt I get th
22、e chance? The more he tried to think like that, the more he wanted a change. One night as he stared at the ceiling, the other man suddenly woke up, coughing and choking, his hands reaching for the button that would bring the nurse running. But the man on the back watched without moving even when the
23、 sound of breathing stopped. In the morning, the nurse found the other man dead, and quietly took his body away.As soon as it seemed decent, the man asked if he could be switched to the bed next to the window. So they moved him over and made him lie there comfortably. The minute they left, he proppe

25、rk.DHe would imagine what could be happening outside.解析:选D推理判断题。由文章最后,可知窗外是一堵白墙。故他只能靠想象。10The man on his back “watched without moving” because _.Ahe did not want to help the other manBhe could not reach the button for the nurseChe was too concentrated on the ceiling to hear the manDhe didnt think th
26、e man was seriously ill解析:选A推理判断题。当听到邻床病人呼吸急促,想按铃求救时,他看着不动,以及下文他要求睡到临窗的病床上,可知他不想帮助他。11What does the underlined part “As soon as it seemed decent” most probably mean?AWhen the bed was clean enough.BWhen the nurses were free.CWhen it was proper time.DWhen the man was properly dressed.解析:选C句意理解题。由上下文可知

34、started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through the Be The Match Registry.”可排除A项;根据文中的“.

Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血) every 46 weeks since she
35、was 11 months old.”可知,伊莎贝尔是从11个月大时开始输血的,故C项不正确;根据文中“. doctors have started a search .”以及“sponsored (赞助) by Michaels Fund”可知,D项可以排除。14To be a marrow donor, you must _.Abe a relative of the patientBcarry a drivers licenseCbe at least 18 years oldDapply to Michaels Fund解析:选C推理判断题。A项“是病人的一个亲戚”,在文中没有提到;由
36、“Dont forget to bring your drivers license or another form of identification .”可知,要成为骨髓捐献者除了可携带驾照外,其他形式的证明也可以,由此排除B项;Marrow Donors下的第一条要求年龄18岁至44岁,故18岁是成为骨髓捐献者的一个条件,故C项正确;Michaels Fund是赞助商,由此可知想成为捐献者不必向它申请,故D项不符合文意。15Those who want to help patients like Isabelle can _.Acome to Wiley Hall every Wedne

76、swer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it, I want everyone to like me.My sister had the same problem with the caretaker of her block of flats: “All he ever does is complaint; he talks at me rather than to me, never listens to a word I say, and yet for some reason Im always really nice
77、to him. Im worried in case I have a difficulty one day, and he wont lift a finger to help.”What about at work? Richard Lawton, a management trainer, warns: “Those managers who are actually liked by most of their staff are always those to whom being liked is not the primary goal. The qualities that m
78、ake managers popular are being honest with staff, treating them as human beings and observing common politeness like saying hello in the morning.” To explain the point, Richard mentions the story of the company chairman who desperately wanted to be liked and who, after making one of his managers fir

The employee replied: “If you were that sorry, I wouldnt be leaving.” The lesson being, therefore, that if you try too hard to be liked, people wont like you.The experts say it all starts in childhood. “If children feel the

87、therings no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.At parties, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks.

In addition, too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result, they get into car crashes. 34 percent of teenagers admit to texting while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their n
89、umber one driving interruption. Peoples attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When
90、 with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to
91、 make new friendships in the real world.
